Gearbox oil appears to be leaking from the CV joint any ideas?
Could it be anything to do with this?

output flange oil seal cap imho, be aware there's a lot in the boot when you drop the cvjoint off the box and it will have washed the grease out so repack it properly.

With proper CV joint grease not ordinary LM.
You can get it in handy sachets made for the job.
